[Openstack] IMPORTANT: This list is retired

2018-12-03 Thread Jeremy Stanley
This mailing list was replaced by a new
openstack-disc...@lists.openstack.org mailing list[0] as of Monday
November 19, 2018 and starting now will no longer receive any new
messages. The archive of prior messages will remain published in the
expected location indefinitely for future reference.

For convenience posts to the old list address will be rerouted to
the new list for an indeterminate period of time, but please correct
it in your replies if you notice this.

See my original notice[1] (and the many reminders sent in months
since) for an explanation of this change.

Correct, that was covered in more detail in the longer original
announcement linked from my past couple of reminders:

http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-September/134911.html

In short, we're recommending client-side filtering because
server-side topic selection/management was not retained in Mailman 3
as Thierry indicates and we hope we might move our lists to an MM3
instance sometime in the not-too-distant future.

Which is its initial location for crowd-sourcing/brainstorming, but
will get published to a more durable location like on
lists.openstack.org itself or perhaps the Project-Team Guide once
the list is in use.

Not all OpenStack projects use the same task trackers currently and
there's no guarantee that they ever will, so this is a best effort
only. Odds are you may wind up duplicating some information also
present in the Nova project on Launchpad, the Tripleo project on
Trello and the Foobly project on Bugzilla (I made this last one up,
in case it's not obvious).

If it looks generic enough, it will become that unless there are
people actively devoted to triaging and pruning submissions to
curate them... a tedious and thankless long-term commitment, to be
sure.

This is definitely a good source of input, but still needs someone
to determine which various projects/services the tasks for them get
slotted into and then help prioritizing and managing spec
submissions on a per-team basis.

The way to do that on storyboard.openstack.org is to give it a
project of its own. Basically just couple it to a new, empty Git
repository and then the people doing these tasks still have the
option of also putting that repository to some use later (for
example, to house their workflow documentation).

It seems a fine plan, just keep in mind that documenting and
publishing feedback doesn't magically translate into developers
acting on any of it (and this is far from the first time it's been
attempted).

[Openstack] [all] We're combining the lists! (was: Bringing the community together...)

2018-09-20 Thread Jeremy Stanley
simply auto-subscribe everyone from the four older lists to
the new one and call it a day? Well, I personally would find it rude
if a list admin mass-subscribed me to a mailing list I hadn't
directly requested. Doing so may even be illegal in some
jurisdictions (we could probably make a case that it's warranted,
but it's cleaner to not need to justify such an action). Much like
the answer to the previous question, the changes in behavior (and
also in the list name itself) are likely to cause lots of
subscribers to need to update their message filtering rules anyway.
I know by default it would all start landing in my main inbox, and
annoy me mightily.

What subject tags are we going to be using to identify messages of
interest and to be able to skip those we don't care about? We're
going to continuously deploy a list of recommended subject tags in a
visible space, either on the listserv's WebUI or the Infra Manual
and link to it liberally. There is already an initial set of
suggestions[5] being brainstormed, so feel free to add any there you
feel might be missing. It's not yet been decided whether we'll also
include these in the Mailman "Topics" configuration to enable
server-side filtering on them (as there's a good chance we'll be
unable to continue supporting that after an upgrade to Mailman 3),
so for now it's best to assume you may need to add them to your
client-side filters if you rely on that capability.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to respond to
this announcement so we can make sure they're answered.

And yes, it does appear from the results of `git grep -i launchpad`
in the openstack/magnum repo that they have quite a few places
(contributing, readme, docs index...) where they need to update the
URL for defect reporting to no longer be on launchpad.net.

These days (just running stats for this calendar year) we've been
averaging 4 messages a day on the general openstack@lists.o.o ML, so
if it's volume you're worried about most of it would be the current

Looks like this should be
https://wiki.list.org/DEV/Brief%20Technical%20Details instead,
however reading through it doesn't really sound like the topic
filtering feature from MM2.

The List Member Manual has a very brief description of the feature
from the subscriber standpoint:

http://www.list.org/mailman-member/node29.html

The List Administration Manual unfortunately doesn't have any
content for the feature, just a stubbed-out section heading:

http://www.list.org/mailman-admin/node30.html

Sending screenshots to the ML is a bit tough, but luckily MIT's
listadmins have posted some so we don't need to:

Mailman supports customizable welcome messages for new subscribers,
so the *technical* implementation there is easy. I do think (and
failed to highlight it explicitly earlier I'm afraid) that this
proposal comes with an expectation that we provide recommended
guidelines for mailing list use/etiquette appropriate to our
community. It could be contained entirely within the welcome
message, or merely linked to a published document (and whether
that's best suited for the Infra Manual or New Contributor Guide or
somewhere else entirely is certainly up for debate), or even
potentially both.

I understand where you're coming from, and I used to feel similarly.
I was accustomed to communities where developers had one mailing
list, users had another, and whenever a user asked a question on the
developer mailing list they were told to go away and bother the user
mailing list instead (not even a good, old-fashioned "RTFM" for
their trouble). You're probably intimately familiar with at least
one of these communities. ;)

As the years went by, it's become apparent to me that this is
actually an antisocial behavior pattern, and actively harmful to the
user base. I believe OpenStack actually wants users to see the
development work which is underway, come to understand it, and
become part of that process. Requiring them to have their
conversations elsewhere sends the opposite message.

A counterargument though... projecting the number of unique posts to
all four lists combined for this year (both based on trending for
the past several years and also simply scaling the count of messages
this year so far based on how many days are left) comes out roughly
equal to the number of posts which were made to the general
openstack mailing list in 2012.

This was an option we discussed in the "One Community" forum session
as well. There seemed to be a slight preference for making a new
-disscuss list and retiring the old general one. I see either as an
potential solution here.

That was one of the arguments made. Also I believe we have a *lot*
of "black hole" subscribers who aren't actually following that list
but whose addresses aren't bouncing new posts we send them for any
of a number of possible reasons.

Unfortunately, topic filtering is one of the MM2 features the
Mailman community decided nobody used (or at least not enough to
warrant preserving it in MM3). I do think we need to be consistent
about tagging subjects to make client-side filtering more effective
for people who want that, but if we _do_ want to be able to upgrade
we shouldn't continue to rely on server-side filtering support in
Mailman unless we can somehow work with them to help in
reimplementing it.

one or more (and sometimes all) of those overlapping groups of
subscribers. For some time we've been discussing and trying ways to
bring our developers, distributors, operators and end users together
into a less isolated, more cohesive community. An option which keeps
coming up is to combine these different but overlapping mailing
lists into one single discussion list. As we covered[1] in Vancouver
at the last Forum there are a lot of potential up-sides:

1. People with questions are no longer asking them in a different
place than many of the people who have the answers to those
questions (the "not for usage questions" in the openstack-dev ML
title only serves to drive the wedge between developers and users
deeper).

2. The openstack-sigs mailing list hasn't seem much uptake (an order
of magnitude fewer subscribers and posts) compared to the other
three lists, yet it was intended to bridge the communication gap
between them; combining those lists would have been a better
solution to the problem than adding yet another turned out to be.

3. At least one out of every ten messages to any of these lists is
cross-posted to one or more of the others, because we have topics
that span across these divided groups yet nobody is quite sure which
one is the best venue for them; combining would eliminate the
fragmented/duplicative/divergent discussion which results from
participants following up on the different subsets of lists to which
they're subscribed,

4. Half of the people who are actively posting to at least one of
the four lists subscribe to two or more, and a quarter to three if
not all four; they would no longer be receiving multiple copies of
the various cross-posts if these lists were combined.

The proposal is simple: create a new openstack-discuss mailing list
to cover all the above sorts of discussion and stop using the other
four. As the OpenStack ecosystem continues to mature and its
software and services stabilize, the nature of our discourse is
changing (becoming increasingly focused with fewer heated debates,
distilling to a more manageable volume), so this option is looking
much more attractive than in the past. That's not to say it's quiet
(we're looking at roughly 40 messages a day across them on average,
after deduplicating the cross-posts), but we've grown accustomed to
tagging the subjects of these messages to make it easier for other
participants to quickly filter topics which are relevant to them and
so would want a good set of guidelines on how to do so for the
combined list (a suggested set is already being brainstormed[2]).
None of this is set in stone of course, and I expect a lot of
continued discussion across these lists (oh, the irony) while we try
to settle on a plan, so definitely please follow up with your
questions, concerns, ideas, et cetera.

As an aside, some of you have probably also seen me talking about
experiments I've been doing with Mailman 3... I'm hoping new
features in its Hyperkitty and Postorius WebUIs make some of this
easier or more accessible to casual participants (particularly in
light of the combined list scenario), but none of the plan above
hinges on MM3 and should be entirely doable with the MM2 version
we're currently using.

Also, in case you were wondering, no the irony of cross-posting this
message to four mailing lists is not lost on me. ;)

I've redirected this to the openstack-in...@lists.openstack.org
mailing list where it's more on topic; please continue corresponding
there instead and drop openstack@lists.openstack.org from any
further replies.

Have the Gerrit maintainers indicated what version will drop support
for the refs/publish path? Or is the urgency more about silencing
the deprecation warning?

Looking at the currently merged commits since 1.26.0, I see some
which are feature additions so we're likely talking about tagging
this as 1.27.0 rather than 1.26.1 (depending on whether dropping the
vestigial -c command line option counts as a reason to make it 2.0.0
instead, but I feel like it's probably not warranted).

Are there other outstanding changes which are important to get into
1.27.0? At a minimum I think we'll want to get
https://review.openstack.org/593670 and its parent change merged so
that the release note about -c going away will be included in the
release. Anything else?

It wasn't a routing issue. The server's Web service was actually not
running. Something seems to have occurred (perhaps hit a race
condition bug) around the time of the server's scheduled jobs (log
rotation, et cetera) which raised a Django WSGI exception and killed
the parent Apache process. Starting Apache again has restored the

OpenStackSDK strives for backwards-compatibility with even fairly
ancient OpenStack releases, and is not tied to any particular
version of OpenStack services. It should always be safe to run the
latest releases of OpenStackSDK no matter the age of the deployment
with which you intend to communicate.

Note however that the dependencies of OpenStackSDK may conflict with
dependencies of some OpenStack service, so you can't necessarily
expect to be able to co-install them on the same machine without
some means of context separation (virtualenvs, containers, pip
install --local, et cetera).

The unified OpenStackSDK is intended as a general, flexible
yet consistent programming interface for consumers of a variety of
OpenStack services and environments, and this is where most of the
innovation you seem to be asking about is happening so is probably a
much better choice.

The various "client libraries" (e.g. python-novaclient,
python-cinderclient, et cetera) can also be used to that end, but
are mostly for service-to-service communication these days, aren't
extremely consistent with each other, and tend to eventually drop
support for older OpenStack APIs so if you're going to be
interacting with a variety of different OpenStack deployments built
on different releases you may need multiple versions of the client
libraries (depending on what it is you're trying to do).

- Nova: ==16.0.3


Description
~~~
Matt Riedemann from Huawei reported a vulnerability in OpenStack
Nova's default FilterScheduler. By repeatedly rebuilding an instance
with new images, an authenticated user may consume untracked resources
on a hypervisor host leading to a denial of service. This regression
was introduced with the fix for OSSA-2017-005 (CVE-2017-16239),
however, only Nova stable/pike or later deployments with that fix
applied and relying on the default FilterScheduler are affected.

To accommodate privacy extensions, we'd basically have to give up on
any assumptions as to what the viable source addresses originating
on a port could be (at least within the netmask). This filtering is
the primary mechanism for preventing address spoofing within a
shared network.

By comparison, RFC 4941 privacy extensions are primarily a
protection for desktop/mobile client systems and do little (if
anything) useful for a statically-addressed server. Disabling it
there makes a lot of sense to me, as a privacy/security-conscious
sysadmin.

I've seen this from time to time over the years and it's nearly
always a bad RTC. Poor quality control is not unusual since the
manufacturers assume you either won't care or will use something
like NTP to keep things in reasonable sync, but sometimes you'll get
one which is well outside your ntpd's tolerance for drift and it'll
just flat refuse to update it. In those sorts of situations I've
pretty much always sent the server back or requested appropriate
replacement parts to service it myself on site.

We don't really have any jobs that operate in the described manner.
Instead we test against Mitaka (or any OpenStack release) this way:

1. DevStack is checked-out and built with the desired settings on a
   single-use virtual machine in a public cloud provider (but there
   is no public access to that DevStack deployment)

2. Tests are performed from the same virtual machine against the
   local DevStack running there

3. Results/logs are collected and published by our job scheduler

4. The virtual machine used for that test is deleted and returned to
   our available quota

This is probably a fair amount of extra overhead for your needs, but
is done this way in our case because we need to be able to test
proposed changes to services running as a part of DevStack and since
those get started with root privileges we can't trust the virtual
machine for subsequent jobs. Also this has a nice side effect of
starting with a fresh, pristine deployment every time for improved
consistency.

I'm not an active developer on nova, but I tried to recreate the
issue you encountered out of personal curiosity. Unfortunately I
don't have a good explanation for it. At least on my workstation
(Debian/unstable) with tox 2.5.0 installed from PyPI and a clean
checkout of nova's master branch, rerunning `tox -e py27
tests.unit.api.openstack.compute.test_server_action` results in:

==
Totals
==
Ran: 66 tests in 41. sec.
 - Passed: 66
 - Skipped: 0
 - Expected Fail: 0
 - Unexpected Success: 0
 - Failed: 0
Sum of execute time for each test: 51.4564 sec.

Worth noting, `tox -e bindep` says I'm missing several system
packages (graphviz, libsqlite3-dev, mysql-client, mysql-server,
postgresql, postgresql-client) which I guess might explain why I
only ran 66 tests instead of 136, though the failures you quoted
didn't look like they were related to any tests which would have
needed those.

I agree it's unfortunate this was omitted in the discussion. If you
follow the original bug report[*], it's only applicable to
environments which set use_forwarded_for = True. The report can be
reduced to the following summary: If you configure nova's metadata
service to rely on X-Forwarded-For (by setting use_forwarded_for =
True) so that you can put a proxy in front of it, then you need to
make sure your network is correctly designed such that untrusted
systems are not allowed to connect directly to the service without
going through your proxy (and also make sure your proxy correctly
rewrites any existing X-Forwarded-For headers it may receive rather
than passing them through untouched).

I assume you're referring to the OpenStack Foundation Individual

OpenStack Foundation:

Correct, this fails because the system is attempting to prevent you
signing up for duplicate accounts. Each member should have one and
only one account in our foundation member system. Update the
affiliations list in your current account's profile (as described
above) rather than creating a new account.

[Openstack] Wiki upgrade maintenance 21:00 UTC Friday, August 12

2016-08-10 Thread Jeremy Stanley
On Friday, August 12, from approximately 21:00 to 23:00 UTC our
Mediawiki instance on wiki.openstack.org will be upgraded from its
present 1.25 pre-release to the latest 1.27 version. We're allotting
two hours in case issues are encountered with the upgrade requiring
us to roll back to a snapshot, but if all goes well the outage will
hopefully be much shorter.

JP Maxwell, who has worked through the upgrade plan over recent
weeks, set up a test instance for us at
https://wiki-upgrade-test.openstack.org/ where interested parties
can perform some preliminary tests over the next couple days and
help us catch any important features/extensions which are broken or
missing. Note this is running from a snapshot of the production
database, so will not reflect content changed at wiki.openstack.org.

Feel free to catch us in #openstack-infra or follow up to this
message if you have any concerns or want additional information on
this maintenance.

I've just now used their feedback form to request that they stop

the impression they can participate in our mailing lists through

Also it looks like it might be using OpenStack trademarks/logo

Note that you can just pass versions to PBR via the calling
environment, per
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/pbr/packagers.html#versioning

If yours is the NeCTAR packaging library I found (or is a fork
thereof), it looks like you're doing a lot of duplicative work for
things PBR can already handle like calculating patchsets since the
last tag and translating to suitable Debian package version numbers.

I don't know whether it helps for your case, but the solution PBR
implemented for that when it switched to PEP-440+semver (prior to
that PBR _did_ include abbreviated Git SHAs in our version strings)
was to store it in Python packaging metadata and add a separate
command-line tool to list it. If the pbr library is installed into
your environment, it includes an executable "pbr" entrypoint with a
"freeze" subcommand with output similar to pip freeze except
indicating the abbreviated Git SHAs included from the pbr.json file
in each corresponding egg-info tree as an inline comment.

Not really, no. Gerrit removed the ability to change usernames many
years ago, and it currently assumes usernames are immutable (since
it has features which depend on the username not changing once set).
Modifying a username requires an administrator to directly edit a
field in its SQL database backend. However, Gerrit only uses the
username for API access, and for that you can mostly ignore the
problem by configuring your ~/.ssh/config file with something like:

Host openstack-gerrit
HostName review.openstack.org
User myGerritUsername

Hope that helps!

As discovered when Keystone did this several years ago, the port
numbers being assigned at this stage have tipped over into the
default ephemeral ports range for the Linux kernel, so chances are
you'd run into the same nondeterministic deployment failures they
did.

I don't think there was any E-mail discussion on the general mailing
list. It's unlikely to have come to your attention unless you've
been closely following the board meetings. According to
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation there is a
board-appointed Professional Certification Working Group which holds
periodic meetings (via conference call I think?) with a roster and
minutes linked from
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Foundation/ProfessionalCertification
(and I also see a contact E-mail address listed at the end of that
page for people wishing to help).

Re: [Openstack] What is the difference between cloudstack and openstack.

The most important difference to me: when CloudStack emerged into
the open and was no longer simply the proprietary platform for
VMOps/cloud.com, it was done under an "open core" model where some
of it was still kept proprietary. This severely stunted the growth
of any cohesive developer community around their platform. By
comparison when NASA and Rackspace opened up the seeds of what is
now OpenStack (a couple months later), it not only released the full
working code bases for those projects but also went with an open
development and design model and began work to transfer any original
intellectual property assets to a forming nonprofit foundation.

In the world of free software, community inertia is almost
everything and far outweighs any relative differences in maturity of
a code base, quality control, or feature set. This article from a
few years ago when Citrix, who eventually acquired cloud.com,
relicensed and donated CloudStack to the Apache Foundation, outlines
what they recognized then as remaining deficiencies in openness (but
in my opinion was an unfortunate matter of too little too late):

It was never the intent that projects had to "incubate in
StackForge" to join OpenStack officially, though it was always an
option and so because it happened frequently many assumed it was
required. Part of the reason for the "Big Tent" shift in governance
was to get rid of incubation entirely and allow projects to become
an official part of OpenStack with much less waiting and red tape.

That aside, the Git namespace "stackforge" is currently a cosmetic
implementation detail, not a semantic one, and its existence is
creating more problems than it solves. As a result, we have stopped
adding new projects with a "stackforge/" name prefix and only use
"openstack/" for those now. We've scheduled[*] to either retire or
rename all remaining repositories into the "openstack" namespace so
that we can cease utilizing the "stackforge" prefix. This change
does not convey any special meaning nor imply a difference in the
governance of those projects, rather simply that the "openstack"
namespace is no longer reserved strictly for official OpenStack
projects.

You can create unofficial projects in our infrastructure and then
later apply to the Technical Committee for official status if and
when you want. It's unusual to consider hosting an unofficial
project in our infrastructure unless you eventually intend for it to
join an existing official OpenStack project or form a new official
OpenStack project. The TC may at some point decide to make this a
more formal expectation, but for now there is no requirement to
obtain any official status for your project.

Either you accidentally sent this to the wrong mailing list, or

Thanks for the heads up. The developers working to backport security
fixes to stable branches try to come up with ways to have them
automatically applicable without configuration changes on the part
of the deployers consuming them. Sometimes it's possible, sometimes
it's not, and sometimes they think it is but turn out in retrospect
to have introduced an unintended behavior change. Unfortunately I
think that last possibility is what happened for this bug[1].

It's worth bringing this to the attention of the Nova developers who
implemented the original fix to see if there's a better stable
solution which achieves the goal of protecting deployments where
operators aren't likely to update their configuration while still
maintaining consistent behavior. To that end, I'm Cc'ing the
openstack-dev list, setting MFT and tagging the subject accordingly.

We've been working on it all day. Pip 6.0 was released today and
it's taken most of the day to get DevStack working correctly with

It looks like you're using the master branch of PBR rather than a
release version. The current source in master is incompatible with
Setuptools 8 (released a week ago) and there is a patch series
currently under review to fix that. Either use the most recent
release of PBR instead (0.10.7 which should work with Setuptools 8)
or wait until https://review.openstack.org/142931 merges.

[Openstack] [OSSA 2014-035] Nova VMware driver may connect VNC to another tenant's console (CVE-2014-8750)

2014-10-14 Thread Jeremy Stanley
OpenStack Security Advisory: 2014-035
CVE: CVE-2014-8750
Date: October 14, 2014
Title: Nova VMware driver may connect VNC to another tenant's console
Reporter: Marcio Roberto Starke
Products: Nova
Versions: up to 2014.1.3

Description:
Marcio Roberto Starke reported a vulnerability in the Nova VMware
driver. A race condition in its VNC port allocation may cause it to
connect the wrong console if instances are created concurrently. By
repeatedly spawning new instances, an authenticated user may be able
to gain unauthorized console access to instances belonging to other
tenants. Only Nova setups using the VMware driver and the VNC proxy
service are affected.

Also, OpenStack (upstream) has scheduled the final stable point
release of Havana, 2013.2.4, for 10 days from now. After that, the
OpenStack vulnerability management team will not be releasing
security advisories specific to Havana nor preparing official
backport patches for any bugs in Havana (security-related or
otherwise). I would definitely discourage anyone from deploying
Havana in new environments at this point... Icehouse has been
available for months and Juno is just around the corner now.

It's not behavior I'd seen since some time last year, and while I
remember it was fairly non-obvious when we spotted it I don't see
any evidence it's happening now. So you're right it shouldn't be the
case. I've at least dug up a change which got quickly cancelled by a
new patchset before any jobs began, and confirmed they never ended
up running on any Jenkins masters after removal from Gearman.

One corner case I think we've seen which could lead to confusion is
that once a job enters the Gearman queue it doesn't get removed even
if Zuul removes it from the pipeline... so if your worker volume is
backed up enough that some jobs for a patchset haven't been assigned
before another patchset causes the current one to get dequeued,
Jenkins can end up running those jobs anyway.

Did we ever end up implementing a solution for that, or does that
behavior still exist?

I'm not sure where you're hearing this from, but you seem to have
some misconceptions. For example, the OpenStack Infrastructure Team
manages numerous unmodified "stateful" applications on donated
resources from OpenStack-based service providers for the benefit of
our contributors and the broader community (Gerrit, Jenkins, even
Mediawiki!). You start a virtual machine with whatever operating
system you need and install and run your software on it for as long
as you need (including indefinitely). Just make sure to pick a
service provider with some guarantees about uptime and not deleting
your systems, maybe one who also offers load balancing/fail-over
solutions too (same concerns as in a non-"cloud" deployment).

Yes, to take advantage of modern concepts like automatic elastic
scaling you may need applications which support those sorts of
deployment methods, but under the hood OpenStack provides virtual
machines--so if your needs can be met on VMs then they're probably
just fine to manage through OpenStack.

Yes, it's worth pointing out that pip versions prior to 1.4 did not
validate (or in some cases even attempt to use) HTTPS during package
download, making it significantly less secure. It also had
undesirable behaviors like installing pre-release versions by
default and spidering external Web sites to find packages not hosted

However, the error being encountered there should be solved when

Aaron Rosen from VMware reported a vulnerability in the metadata
access from OpenStack Neutron to Nova. Because of a missing
authorization check on port binding, by guessing an instance_id a
tenant may retrieve another tenant's metadata resulting in
information disclosure. Only OpenStack setups running
neutron-metadata-agent are affected.

Good point. What I meant was legally possible, but only if buying
the servers for your compute nodes from Apple. Otherwise they won't
license the OS to you, virtual or not.

As recently as last year a former employer of mine was looking into
it, but the issue turned out to be one of licensing. Apple didn't
license OS X for running on any hardware except their own, so while
there were some ways to make it technically possible it was not
_legally_ possible. This also seems to be reflected in VMware's
knowledge base now...

For example, would you entertain stable bug fixes and security
fixes/advisories specific to this driver? Or is there some middle
ground to keeping the code intact in Grizzly/Havana but not really
supporting it?

[Openstack] [OSSA 2013-030] XenAPI security groups not kept through migrate or resize (CVE-2013-4497)

2013-11-14 Thread Jeremy Stanley
OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-030
CVE: CVE-2013-4497
Date: November 14, 2013
Title: XenAPI security groups not kept through migrate or resize
Reporter: Chris Behrens (Rackspace) and Vangelis Tasoulas
Products: Nova
Affects: All supported versions prior to Havana

Description:
Chris Behrens with Rackspace and Vangelis Tasoulas reported a set of
vulnerabilities in OpenStack Nova's XenAPI hypervisor backend. When
migrating or resizing an instance, including live migration,
existing security groups may not be reapplied after the operation
completes. This can lead to unintentional network exposure for
virtual machines. Only setups using the XenAPI backend are affected.

The Havana release (2013.2) is not affected.

I've been toying with the idea of asking change submitters to seek
additional +1 reviews when they come asking for a core reviewer to
have a look at a patch (which seems like half of the traffic in the
development-focused IRC channels I live on).

You might also solicit suggestions on the topic from the
openstack-dev mailing list rather than this one. Just a thought.

And in fact, every change which gets proposed to OpenStack is tested
many, many, many times before it's allowed in OpenStack by running
OpenStack (DevStack) on OpenStack (donated virtual machines from
OpenStack Foundation member companies who happen to be public cloud
service providers). We quite probably install more individual
instances of OpenStack than anyone else, building and destroying
hundreds of them every hour at the moment, and do it all on virtual
machines managed by other OpenStacks.

Reporter: hzrandd (NetEase)
Products: Nova
Affects: All versions

Description:
hzrandd from NetEase reported a resource limit circumvention
vulnerability in Nova's handling of private flavors. Any tenant is
able to show and boot any other tenant's private flavors by guessing
a flavor ID. This not only exposes the flavor's name, memory and
disk size, swap allocation, VCPU count and similar flavor
properties, but potentially allows circumvention of any resource
limits enforced through the os-flavor-access:is_public property.

The list server wasn't sufficiently tuned for the substantial
subscriber base of the migrated list. Queue settings are being
tweaked to chew through the delivery backlog and get things back on
